The handwriting on the last letter was very sloppy, and it was obvious that the warriors were in a very messy mood at that time.
The samurai are a specially trained group. Even in the face of death, they will be very calm. It is absolutely abnormal for their mood to be so greatly fluctuated!
"I am worthy of being called a Xiqi warrior..."
I haven't been good at practicing arts since I was a child, and now my life is at risk!
We wanted to resist desperately and handed all the letters to a samurai to take back to Xiqi.
Unexpectedly, after entering the desert, this warrior came back that night!
He told us that the desert is vast and boundless, and we will never be able to get out of it in our lifetime. Don't think about going back, it's better to stay here and keep him company!
From then on, he had a strange appearance, never kept company with us, and often hid in the dark to spy on our actions. His face was dark, only half of his face was exposed, his eyes were slanted, and he scratched his ears and cheeks from time to time, like a monkey!
We became suspicious and tried many times, but he finally revealed his true face, and his form was so hideous that it was beyond words!
Only then did they realize that he was not his true form but a monkey-man. The real warrior had long since died!
This orc is the leader of all beasts. Although he is short in stature, he is powerful and invisible. His hands are dull and his body cannot be grasped.
The two warriors died on the spot.
In the past, we were not afraid of the huge monsters in the sand. Even if we were to overwhelm mountains and seas, covering the sky and covering the earth, we would only be dead.
But when I faced this monkey-like orc, I felt terrified because it was so weird and terrifying!
This orc can speak human words, has a thoughtful mind, is lustful and vicious, and is far more intelligent than other orcs.
For some reason, he hates us so deeply. He knows that Xiqi exists in the land of China, and that there are two deities named Ji and Jiang who are emperors. He hates deity Jiang Shang extremely and vows to eat the flesh of his descendants!
He was not eager to kill us, but slaughtered all the villagers in the village, captured the women, tortured them, and took pleasure in their corpses in the back seat...
We know that we are dead and there is no way to escape. If we are buried in the belly of a monkey, it will be a great shame and humiliation, and we will never die with our eyes in peace.
We put this letter and our hair in a jar and hid it under the soil.
Xiqi will last for thousands of years and will never fade from generation to generation!
If you encounter someone later, you will know how stubborn we are in resisting. In memory of our hard work, please take our hair back to our hometown!"
The last handwriting was horribly scrawled. It seemed that the situation at that time was very critical. They didn't have much time, so they wrote quickly in a tight time.
After leaving these last words, these warriors seemed to have been killed. Perhaps as he said, they would eventually be buried in the belly of the monkey man.
Ghost Sword looked at these words, his brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were straight, as if he had seen the battle scene at that time.
"Have the bodies of these people been found?" Chen Zhi rerolled the letters.
"No!", Guidao shook his head gently,
"There is not a single corpse in this village. The bones of those warriors are definitely not here!"
"Yeah..." Chen Zhi responded lightly,
"Knife, do you think it's like what they said, and how they will choose in the end..."
"They will kill themselves...",
Ghost Sword replied,
"The most important thing in a warrior's life is reputation. It would be the greatest shame for a warrior to be buried in the belly of a wild beast.
When unable to resist, Xiqi warriors will definitely find a way to commit suicide.
But as long as there is a chance, they will protect their bodies from wild beasts. If their bones cannot be found here, maybe they chose another method to die. This is a good thing!
"Um!",
Chen Zhi nodded slightly, raised his hand and patted Guidao's shoulder,
"The lives of orcs vary greatly, some are very long, and some are very short. As far as I know, some small orcs don't even live as long as humans.
This hairy monkey from hundreds of years ago looks very powerful, but after so long, it may have turned gray now~~
But if he is still alive, you must be careful!"
"Yes!", Guidao bowed his head in response,
After they took out the papers, they found that there were still a lot of hairs in the pottery pot.
The hair was already very withered, and it was divided into four parts and tied with thin threads. It was probably left by those warriors.
This is a long-standing tradition in Xiqi. Samurai have been warriors on the battlefield since ancient times. Although they are powerful, they rarely die.
Many of their corpses were left outside, but their hair returned to Xiqi, and their souls also returned to Xiqi.
Ghost Sword bandaged the hair and put it in his arms, preparing to hand it to the Elders when he returned.
During the process just now, Danxuan had been listening to what they said silently. When he heard what the monkey man had done, his face was very ugly, and he was speechless in the end.
He walked to the ruins without saying a word, placed the beads on the ground, knelt on his knees, clasped his palms together, and softly recited the mantra of rebirth.
This chanting sound was continuously introduced into this darkness, and there was an indescribable sadness.
In this ancient desert, in this ruins that have been abandoned for more than 300 years, this belated rebirth curse seems to be endlessly emotional at this time. It contains thousands of meanings, and those who have not been there in person cannot feel it.
After Danxuan finished reciting the scriptures, they left there.
Chen Yiyang grasped the timing of the hypnosis very accurately. When they arrived at the door, they found that the gatekeepers had not recovered yet.
They successfully returned to the ground and returned to the surface of the desert. At this time, the square outside the underground palace was already empty.
In the darkness, the huge golden hoop stood in the middle of the square, so tall, so lonely.
It seems that I am silently witnessing the past that happened in this desert and the future that will happen.
They had all prepared their equipment before, and had stored water in the underground palace just now. Now they tied the treasure bags to their bodies, packed lightly, and started walking towards the desert.
It is very cold at night in the Flaming Mountains, but you can still feel the scalding temperature when you step on the desert.
At this moment, Chen Zhi suddenly felt that everything in the dream had become reality. He was walking on the road that Xuanzang had walked, with yellow sand everywhere and desolation for thousands of miles.
While walking forward, Xuanzang would lose his water bag and run out of ammunition and food. When he had only his last breath left, he met the monkey man who changed his destiny, who later became the Buddha of Victory...
